Health Equity in Action

Long COVID & Fatiguing Illnesses Recovery Program (LC & FIRP)

Populations of focus: Essential and frontline workers, Non-U.S.-born persons (including immigrants and migrants), People experiencing homelessness, People with lower incomes, People with substance abuse disorders, People with disabilities, People from racial and ethnic minority groups, including Hispanic, Non-Hispanic Black, Asian, AI/AN, NHPI, and others, People from LGBTQ+ communities and Older adults (age 65+)

Purpose: Improve the health of patients in medically underserved communities who have long COVID and other complex chronic conditions with similar symptoms. Millions of Americans suffering from long COVID have an ongoing illness and/or disability. Communities that are disproportionately affected by COVID-19 have limited access to specialty clinics designed for post-COVID care. Primary care providers serving these communities are also facing challenges in managing complex post-COVID conditions among their patients. More on LC & FIRPexternal icon
